GIMP Tutorials

We have added two excellent YouTube video for our students to watch. This will aid them in learning how to use GIMP. The videos below explains a number of the necessary points including.....

Importing your image / scanning your image (300dpi is fine)
Using levels (lights and darks) on your image
Sharpening your image
Brightness and Contrast
Cropping your image
Saturate your colours
Removing backgrounds / Transparent backgrounds (for png files which are acceptable)
Exporting / Saving your images as a jpeg

Resizing your image for uploading. We don't recommend overwriting your original files. Ideally you need to save (Export) your new image as a separate file specifically for uploading to your tutor. The video below will help you with this.
